Surviving Victors and Vanquished Ltecall Incidents of the Bloody Rattle Without One Tinge of Bectional Bitterness. The Gettyaburg Celebration. GrTTYSBURG, Pa, July Very little more sleep visited the eyes of the people of Gettysburg last night than on the night of July 2, 1863, This morning dawned clear and beautiful, a perfect counterpart of the memorial day it commemorates. In the place of cannon shots, however, the shrill shricks “ of alocomotive broke the Sabbath stiliness as excursion after excursion remnforced the crowds in the streets, ‘The morning was spent in sight seeing and going over the field At m. the procession formed at agle hotel, and led by Adjutant Whitecar and fol- lowed by a band, took up its march to the place where twenty-four years before the Philadelphia men had held their position against the famous Pickett's division of Longstreet's corps of the army of Northern Virginia. At length they reached tho “Bloody Angle,” the band strikes up “Rally Round the Flag, Boys,” and the old Philadelphia brigade is once more on the ground they nobly defended againstsuch overwhelming odds. The stone fence is still standing behind which the Philadelphia brignde made its ne- roicstand, and the two monuments of the Sixty-ninth and Seventy-first are located within a few feet of it. A few minutes afte 2 o'clock the Sixty-ninth marched to a stan erected for the purpose and there the as- semblage was called to order b{ Colonel W, C. McDermott, who read the list of killed and mortally Wwounded of the Sixty-ninth regiment. ° He = then presented (e eral Joshua T. Owen, who delivered the oration. During his speech the general said that the commander of the Philadelphia brigade, when he placed them at the NLrnu wall in such an advanced position, knew they would stay there and hola that position till death, He referred to the manner in which they got the name of ‘‘Paddy Owen’s Regulars,” and pointed out General Brown as the man who so called them, He said he hardly knew what to say to the men who twenty-four years ngo to-day emerged fromn the woods 1,300 yards away ana made the terrible assault on the union line. *‘Let them place their monument where they wish.” He continued: *Armistead and several others plerced our line, and here, within a few feet of this spot, he fell wounded unto death, The renowned phalanxses of Alexander would not have dared to make the charge Pickett's made.” In closing he called for three cheers for Pickett’s division a8 proof of their friendship. They were given with a will, a8 were three cheers for General Owens, Colonel Reilly then presented the monu- ment to the care and k(n!]\lnf of the battle- field memorial association, It was received in their name by Colonel J. B. Batchelder. As soon as Colonel Batchelder had finished Colonel Reilly arose, and, in the name of the Sixty-ninth regiment, Rmsnnu«l him with a handsome old watch, appropriately in- scribed. The colonel was much surprised, and in a few words thanked the regiment for its kind remembrance of him. efore the ceremonies bezan Mrs. Pickett, escorted by General Burns, took her seat on the platform and_ the crowd at once cheered her. Now Adjutant Gen- eral McDermott stepped forward and resented her with a beautiful loral cross which had been given the brigade y Mrs. Reed, of Philadelphia, and which tfie{l now wished to present to her. ‘This finished the ceremonies of the Sixty- ninth, and now the Seventy-first took the [}lfl.{orm and Captain Stockton introduced eneral Burns, who succeeded (General Baker in command, as orator. When he finished General Baldy Swmith was presented, and spoke for only a few minutes, It fell upon General Wister to turn the monument over to the Battletield Memorial association, and he was so much affected by the sight of the small number of the brigade remaining that it took him some moments to master his feelings, and occasionally during 18 speech his voice would choke and he with difficuity continued. The monument was accepted in the name of the association b Colonel John M. Vanderslice, of Philadel- phia, Colonel R. Penn Smith then, ina very Interesting speech, turned over to the Memorial association the tablet to Cusning’s battery, which was also received by Colonel ‘Vanderslice, The crowd then moved near the famous clump of trees where Gowan’s battery monu- ment is erected. When all was ready, Col- onel Andrew Cowan introduced Rev. James K. Dixson, who offered prayer. Mrs. Pickett 'Wag there, ascended the platiorm, and (ipl- on wan, arising, thanked her for Lier presence and also welcomed the wife of the commander of the Philadelphia bricade ‘whose husband twenty-four years ago bezan the rald on Webb’s staff who brought him the order to place his guns whera the monument now is, and whom he had not seen again till last night. He then presented Serino E. ayne as orator, who spoke about twenty minutes. Then Colonel Cowan transferred monument to the memorial asso- ciation, ~ in whose behalf it was acoep la' Captain _ D. C. Wagnar. Lieutenant Willlam Savage, on behalf of the bat , then thanked Cowan for his_efforts to bring about this dedication and make it a success, haps the most interesting Incident of the whole dedication was the presentation by Colonel Cowan to the Pickett division asso- clation of the sword which he took during Pickett’s famous charze. 'The party then broke up and returned to town. et A Nebraskan Takes the Veil. Cnicaco, July 8.—(Special Telegram to the BeE, |—The ceremony of the reception of the religlous habit was pertormed in the chapel of St. Patrick’s academy yesterday afternoon. The ceremony began at 4 o'clock and lasted about one and three quarters hours. Among the five novices who took the white veil of the Sisters of Mercy was Miss Mary Nelson, of Nebraska. The young ladies have served their novitiate of six months re- quired before being allowed to take the white vell, and at the expiration of eighteen months more, or two years from the date of thelr on!r{o into the ‘convent, they will be rmitted to take the last step that will make em nuns irrevocably.

(rbiadaldiionds One Morehouse Rioter Dead. MINDEN, La, July 8.—Information has reached here that three of the negroes en- gaged in the Morehouse riot had passed across four parishes on foot on their way to Texas. ‘The sheriff quickly organized a posse and In an hour or two overhauled them on the railroad track and ordered them rrender. They gave him pistol shots In answer and he and his posse returned the fire. After the smoke had cleared away one f the negroes was found dead. Parties from &mnouu report that no political signiti- can be attached to the Morehouse kill- ig.

His hand was held so firmly to the machine that the engine had to be stopped and the cirenit_disconnected in order to release him. His friend, who was standing near him, attempted to seize him, but was prevented by the engineer, who shouted at him just in time. After the ma- chiuery was stopped, (ienger was carried out and medical aid summoned. A galvanie bat- tery was applied but life was extinct. The wounds on the dead man are of the most eculiar character, the places where the nuckles came in contaet with themachinery being burned to the bone. There was also a bad burn on the breast and in a few moments the body had turned black. Genger is a sin- ele man, but has several relatives in the clty who are prominent in business and social circles. WARKIORS AT VARIANCE. General Wolsely and the Sherman- Davis Criticisms, New Yonrk, July |Special Telegram to the B |—Lord Wolsely has sent to Gen- eral Charles Dahlgren a letter declining to answer the severe criticism by General Sher- man and Jeff Davis on his review ot General Long’s history ot Lee. Lord Wolsely sa: “Anything coming from the pen of a di: tinguished soldier like General Sherman will always be of interest and weight. I have so much sincere respect for his military char- acter and his great achievements, that were he to differ from me in opinion upon any campalgn In which he, like myself, had taken no part, and of which, therefore, he was like myself, merely an unprejudiced commentator, I should lesitate be- fore 1 expressed any view at variance with his. In the present instance, however, I think the outside world, who ust be the great jury to finally settle all such contested matters of opinion, will at- tach more welzht to the opinions of Euro- pean students of war upon the events of the great confederate struggle than even to those of the most eminent American generals like General 8herman, the reason being that men who, like him, played a most distinguished vart In that war, can scarcely be regarded as impartial judges, I have read his remarks jipon, me with deep interest, for he writes 1 © a goldier and a gentleman. Of poor Mr. letter I prefer saying little, I remember his_ career and his present position, I can sympa- thize " with his dislike to all outside criticlsm upon the events in which General Lee achieved such jmmortal renown. I am sorry that a man who had the privilege of being a friend of that high bred Virginian entleman and soldier should write as he has done of one who is a complete stranger to him—of one who has committed, what in Mr. Davis’ eyes 18 evidently the unpardonable fault of presuming to criticize the policy and acts of the ex-confederate president. Mr. Davis’ self appreciation caused him to think himself a greater man than those who deal with nim historically are prepared to admit.” i il THE CLEARAN RECORD.

Betore the horrified colored girl could give the alarm, R. B, Detwiler, the father of John, was admitted to the room, and to him the girl admitted that she bad taken two doses of poison and intended to shoot his son. The old man summoned Dr. Davis and they suc- led in administering an antidote. A search of the girl’s effects resulted In the dis- covery of a revolver. The girl had been a domestic in the Detwiler restaurant, and had become greatly enamored ot young Detwiler, who until recently had apparently recipro- cated her affections. She had been hysteri- cal for the past few weeks, and for several days had remained in her room, refusing all food. She Is of good character, quite pretty and about twenty-five, —— Killed by Aconite.

NEW Yonk, July 8.—|Special Telegram to the Brp he great vibrations in money between stingency and ease, the suddenness and sharp rallies in stocks, large transfers in Manhattan, the re-entrance of Gould into the market as a heavy buyer ot his own proper- ties, the shifting to the bull siae of many who have been bears for some time previous, and the'deellne in exchange form a group of remarkable events that are selfdom crowded into the short space of one week. All these occurrences are still so fresh in the readers’ mind and have been dilated upon so freely and extensively that it is needless to expa- tiate upon them further. The share list took a further tumble during the earlier days and the feeling at one time was very despondent, but there was a change to pésitive buoyancy later on, and the highest vrices of the week were made in many cases when London and Messrs, Gould, e, Cammack and others bought liberally, and when there was a seamper among the shorts to cover, ‘Iie money question was a leading factor and twice during the week call loans were made at 5 per cent per annum and 4 per diem and interest on the same day. Prob- ably no better illustration than this could be given of the severe strain put upon borrowers during the week. 'The immediate future and values on stock exchange hinge to a large ex- tent upon the financial situation, and al- thouzh money was exceedingly ciose on Fri- day, a hopeful view was taken of the pros- peets for next week. This was based largely upon heavy treasury disbursements, which add just so much new cap- ital to the street, and the advance in domestic exchange on New York to par at St. Louis and Chicago, which means the stoppage of the drain of money from this point, with a possibility of a return flow ater on. ‘There are other contingencies likely to affect stocks, prominent among them being telegraph and the Baltimore & Ohio deals, developments in rezard to which are awaited with anxiety. The market for rallway mortgages was quiet throughout the week, Some Issues declined at the opening, but o firmer feeling set in, when the stocks Improved and an 'advance of 3 to 43¢ points ensued. Governments showed but slight variations and were in_ the main firm.Foreign exchanges until near the close were wreatly depressed by stringency in money and offerines of against pirchasers of gecurities for foreizn account. Both posted and actual rates were reduced and this started some gold shipment to this side, but In late transactions the rates made some recovery and the toue of the mar- ket was tirme; Pl e Weekly Keport. Cit1cAGo, July 8.~The tollowing crop sum- mary will appear in this week’s issue of the Farmers' Review: Reportson the yieid of the winter wheat crop are now comlng in and thus far corroborate our previous state- mentsas to the shortage that might be ex- pected. Missouri leads in her average and is followed by Illinois, while the other states have the following relative position: Ken- tucky, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and last Kansas, where the chinch bugs have done very serions damage. As yet reports on the average yield of the winter wheat crop are Just bezinning to come in, but the following from different states probably furnishes a correct indication of the final results of tho harvest: Tywelve countles in 1llinois report an average of seventeen bushels and four counties place the _averase condition at 78 per cent. Niue counties in Indlana lace the average at fourteen bushels, and three counties average their condition at 70 per cent. Seven coun- ties in Michigan report an averaze vield of fifteen bushels, Eleven counties in Ohio report a yield of thirteen bushels, while five counties report their condition at 85 per cent. The yield in twelve Missouri countles 18 eighteen” bushels, and the condition in three is 105 per cent, Five counties in Ken- tucky place the vield at sixteen bushels. In Kansas nire counties report an average yiela of eleven bushels, and five an average condi- tion of 55 per cent. Seventeen counties in Tlinois complain of damage to crops by drought. Like complaints come from six counties in Indiana, and thirteen hansas counties report damage from insects and drought. Rain is needed in Kentveky and Wisconsin, and six Missouri counties "com- plain of damage by drought. ‘T'he conditlon of spring wheat in the differ- ent states is as follo eventeen counties in Lowa report an average condition of T+ per cent, while thirteen counties in Minnesota Dpiace itat 7 per cent. en_counties in Nebraska report an averaze of 76 per cent, and that same numver in Dakota place it at 80 per cent. As was expected the hay crop turns out light, and pastures were nearly everywhi rc(lr{. ‘The prospects for a good oples in the west are fair to mid- In many places fruit is dropping from the trees, Favored With Rain. ‘WASHINGTON, July 8.—The following is the weekly weather crop bulletin issued by the signal otlice to-day for the week ending July 2, 1887: Temperature—During the week ending July®, 1897, the weather has been slightly warmer than usual in the northern states, the average daily excess being generally les than 2degrees, while throughout the south~ ern states it was cooler than usual, the aver- age daily temperature ranging from 3 to 7 degrees below normal. Throughout the cot- ten belt during the week the dally averaze was about 5 degrees cooler than usual, The average dally temnperature for the seagon from January 1to July 2, 1887, differs less than one dezree from normal in all agricul- tural districts except in the southern states, where the thernal excess previously re- ported in the cotton region has been slfzhtly reduced and the deliciency on the south At~ lantie coast slightly augmented. During the week the rainfall has heen slightly in excess in a greater portion of the cotton_ region, and generally from the Mis- sissippl_river westward, over the eastern slope of the Rocky mountains. Larze ex- cesses for the week, ranging from i inches, are reported from southern G and thence westward to Texas, and almost |ln|l¥ rains occurred in the Mississibpi val- ley from the Gulf states northward to Wis- consin and Minnesota, thus ending the drought previously existing in_ portions of the upper Mississippi valley. Heavy rains are reported this morning from states in the Mississippl valley, and are indicated for the cotton recion, and the corn, tobacco and wheat regions west of the Alleghenies. From Michigan and the Ohio val- ley eastward to the Atlantic coast there was less rain than usual for the week, the deficiency amounting to about an inch. Reports from the cotton regions indicate that the weather during the week, owing to abundant and well distributed showers, has been favorable to cotton although its growth way have been slightly retarded by cool weather. The weather has been favorable for the harvesting of wheat and hay from the lake urh)n and Ohio valley eastward to the Atlantic coast, while® in the’ Missourl and Mississippl valleys showers have delayed harvesting in those sections, The weather been especially favorable in the corn re- gion and recent rains have extended over a greater portion of the corn belt. Excellent rowing weather Is reported from New Eng- land and the Middle states where the hay crop las been secured, e Big Storm at Wichita, Wicurra, Kan,, July 8.—One of the worst storms ever experienced struck here at 9:30 o'clock last evening. The heavens seemed one lurid flash of lightning, looking like a prairie lire, while the clouds seemed to open and pour down water. The streets were a moving siect of wa ber and impassable for & time. Water entered the roofs of houses as if the shinzles were paper, and the Maln street theater with a heavy canvas roof was wrecked, the water having poured through the coveriug and down on the seats and aisles In torrents. it bas been seen for years, lwmmr-ndo “":l o ‘fl:ti:.c"h‘:l:wm L & ur and magu ng over Al hourand a halt THEY OUGHT TO HAVE WON.

The First a Defeat, It was a great crowd. aid there were 3,000 peopla there., Others said there were more than that, Others were probably nearer correct. y, it was the boss congregation of on. “Oh, why couldn’tthe Omahas have®won?" petulantly inquired a fair enthu t, with eyes of heaven's blue and a complexion like an apple blossom, as she arose trom her seat in the grand stand and gazed regrettully off over the field just after Rourk’s last expiring struggle, That’s so, why couldn’t the; fore such a splendid audie It would have been a feather in their cap as big as a horse’s tail, Everybody seemed to be there—lawyers, doctors, capitalists, politiclans, merchants, clerks and all. Ladies? Indeed there were any quantity of them. And they all saw McClintock's Indians again knock out the Omahas—their fourth consecutlve vietory, But they had hard work dofug it, for the Omahas fought the operation at every step. Aided by Lettenberg’s wild pitching, the home team made & good start, Swift was given his base on balls, but Walsh immediately forced him out at second. sh then stole second and went to third v have won be- on a passed ball.

And Rourke was right there with it, but it was a foul, and it fell right into Mr. Harley’s capacious fins and the side was out. The audience heaved a long sigh, while a look of beautiful disguiet settled over Rourke’s eherubic countenance, as he sadly started off for third. ‘The Indians from the Rockiesmade a tally, and there was a fine opening tor a gatling gun. About one thousaud people in a single breath ejaculated told you so.” McSoriey, he of the musical chin, stepned up to the plate, and after having three strikes called on_ him eaught the ball right on the nose and knocked out_a lovely three-bazger, Sileh fonled out to Harter, then Smith, of Pocahontas fame, drove a hot one to Walsh, who, instead of cutting off McSorley, who had started tor home, threw the batter out at first. Tebeau died from third to first, Omaha, however, to everybody’s extreme elation, came right in, saw their one and went tiem one better, Messitt took his base on balls, Bader fanned out, but Genins lined a beauty out to left, Messitt going to third and howe, amidst ' tremendous applause on a throw of Harley’s to head off Genins at second. Bartson, profiting by the enthusinsmn, drove a liery one to MecSorley, who threw home to cateh Genins, but it was no go. for, by a good slide, he scored. Swift then recelved the ball {n the small of his back and was sent to first, Barston moving up to second. Walsh sent a_ bounder to Lettenberg, which he handled slowly, and the batter made urst, Barston third and Swift second, The Indians were considerably rattled rizht here, but Duver's puny hit to seond retired the ide. For the Denvers Gorman, Philips and Brizzs went out in order. The crowd was very happy, and when the Omahas came waltzing in and added anotiier tally to their side, they became uproarious. ‘I'his is how they did it. Harter ired at first, Rourke fractured the circumambient atmosphiere four straits and sought the bench. Messitt was luckier, He got to fist on balls, made a dandy steal to second, and home on lucky Bader’s clean drive to left, Bader himself going to second on the throw 1n, and every man and boy on the grounds yelled **Hol no!ho!” ‘Lhen Genins hit a lightning line fly, and it looked like a homer, but Tebe a great jump and troze to itas it was cleaving t he air over third. Here lwy man and boy on the grounds said “ah!” For McClintock’s aborigines, Harley ot his base on balls, and stole second. Lit- tenberg dled at first, and it looked like a run, But McSorley’s hot drive was taken in superb style by Swift, who doubled up Har- ley at third, "Phe entire audience stood right up on its hind legs here and yelled as if they were drawing a big salary for it. In the fourth Bartson hit clean to center and stole second with Impunity. Swift hit to piteh, who threw Bartson out at third, and on Walsh'e drive to secoud Swift was doub- led up, Walsh going out at first on a very questionable decision. Forthe Denvers Silch went out to left, Smith made a one bageer, Tebeau retired on a high fly to Walsh, and Gorham ot his base on five bad balls, On Philips’ hit to short, the sida should have been m“l but Dwyer made a miserable muff of the throw, and Smith came home and Gorham weut to second, Philips stole second, but the agony ended on Briggs out at fIrst. The game now became a see-saw. First Omaha went up, then she came down; then the Denvers went up, then the Omahas soared again, and so on until the last inninz, ‘Thc" the Omahas went down—and stayed there, It was one, two, three for the Omahas in the fifth, but alas! three more scores for the red men. On Rourke's wild throw of his simnle grounder, Harley took second; Lettenberg S, 0V A gay one to scoring, of course, ned a clean one to MecSorley in, and on Harter's wild throw to second, Silch went to third, and home after Smith's long flv had settled in Messitt’s hands. Tebeau lined another two- bagger to left, but got left on Gorhaw’s fy to Messitt. The score now stood Denver 5, Omaha nlr,xldl enthusiasm was slowly and lugubriously ebbing, In t‘fm aixth, Messitt fell an easy victim from pitch to first, bus Bader hit for one sack —a genuine sealskin—to deep center, stole second, as a matter of counrse, and right on top of this, just to Inaugurate & little pande: monium, he actually steals third—and maybe his three thonsand admirers didn’t 6ol cheer. Allthe gloom had been dissipated, like dew in the morming’s sun, That sen- tence camne from Haggard’s last novel, Genins now takes & base on balls, steals second, and on Bart 's out to left, Bader Anllors home and Geains to third. Then Mr. Swift hits for'a couple of s, and Genins scampers home, the game s tied, aud not beink hogs, Walsh condescendingly knocks an easy pop-up to center field. Lo, the poor Indians, don’t no more than got in than they are out again, Philips, after wetting first on” Walsh’s fumble, is caught napping by Bartson, Hriggs fouls out to Harter, and Harley dies at the hands of short to first, 1n the seventh, the Omahas accomplished nothing, although Rourk got to first on balls, the Denvers did no more, notwithstand- ii“z'huy' o, suceeeded in getting a man to rst. _Bader opened the following inning with a hit 1o Tebeau, and on his fumble, made first. ‘The next ball pitehed saw him en route to second, but he was caught between ba: and notwithstanding halt the Denver te: essaved to run him 5nwn. he got safely back to first by one of his famous slides. The vast audience cheered him heartily. Yet curious to relate, they did not cheer the next moment, when Harley, b{ a quick and accurate throw, caught the daring little player in another numln to purloin second. Thelr sympathies lay the other way. . ® Genins followed with a neat hit to left and quickly steals second, and on "'ebean’s fumble olBu{lon'l hit goes to third, Uartson at irst, Swift then hits t his juggling the ball, Genins rans home and Bartson takes third, alsh then goes out from piteher to first, who also catches Bart- son, who foolishly attewpted to steal in on the hit, at the plate, ‘The Indians now came in for business, and the way they shook up things for a few min- like hope deferred, maketh the heart On four h a base on balls, a half- s, and three errors, they scored four runs, and the lining was knocked out of the gume {Ilni‘ollghly, incontinently and everlast- nely, In the ninth the Omahas, Dyyer, Harter and Rourke, weni out so quick that it alimost took the peaple's breath away.

Bader has surely caught on. He is a gen- eral favorite, Hartor made several circus stops, and hit hard but unluckily. o Lhe Omahus must have both games to-day. They are out of meat. It was a magniticent turn-out and the Oma- has ought to have won. MeLaughlin had & hard game to umpire, but he did it, and did it well. MecSorley exhibits much vim and vinegar in hiscaptaining and coachiug. Hastings will be here for three games on the 9th, 10th and 12th, Poor Hastings! There was not a single error made by the Omaha outlield, and some great catches were made, too, ‘The diamond has been “skinned.” Tt is no improvement over sod, and doesn’s look half as pretty. Tebeau is the very prototype of his brother George, with the Cincinnatis, only he lacks tha latter’s fulminatory jaw, ‘The Western league seems very deficient in coaching. 'The Omuhas, in this line, are particularly and paintully weak. MclLaughlin’s second base decisions wera of the highest order, and his judgment on balls and strilkes most excellent.

He reminds one greatly of that famous old timer, Johnuy Clapp. Russ McKelvey, of the old Alleghenies,was on the field just before the game opened, knocking fly balls for the Denvers. Russ ‘Wwas a game one in his day. Go out this morning and see the boys get revenge. ‘They have about dumped their stock of bad luck, and are due for a victory or two. Stick a lynch-pin here, Dwyer and Rourk, it seems, can’t get thelr lims on the ball. But wait—when they do, home runs and three-baggers will be thicker than fleas on Canfield's monkey, Nobody has said nny too much about Bad- er.

Mark Twain and Rev. Umpires, ErLyirA, N. Y., July 8.—|Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—A large crowd greeted Mark Twain and other prominent men who appeared at tLe Maple Avenue grounds yes- terday afternoon either to take part in a game of base ball or witness the sport. Mark Twain meandered down East hill from his quarry farm abou® 1 o'clock to be on hand, as he said, early to perform the arduous duties of umplire in an old fashioned base ball zame. Baing asked some points about old fashloned base ball, the humorist did not betray his lack of knowledge of the rules by saying he did not, but played the deaf act by saying: “I'd llke to play a game or two of bil- Beecher as hards.,” He was attired in a white duck suit, and although his collar was wilted, stood the excessive heat well under an umbrella orin the judges’ stand, 100 feet from the home plate. Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, the other umpire, ap- peared on his tricycle promptly at 4 o’clock, and after a hasty consultation in which a book of rules was demanded by Mark Twaln, and which “@emand was strenuously ob- jected to by the committee, hostilities were begun. The old fashioned ‘‘wet or dry” method ot choosing first fnning was ob- served, and marks of spittle on a flat stone decided that the Alerts should go to the bat. The contest was between the Alerts and Unions, clubs which disbanded twenty years ago. The members of these clubs are nearly all prominent in various walks of lifa. Five innings were played, resulting in a victory for the Unions by a score of 21to 10. There were many featuros to the game. ~'Rules were made by Mark Twaln as the game advanced and decisions were sent by & boy from the umpires in the judges’ stand to"the acting umpire, Coun- sellor John R. Joslyn. Foul lines were gen- l‘mllly ignored. Several of the players are portly men, and running bases while the thermometer Indicated blood heat in the shade afforded much pleasure to the audi- ence, but discomfort to the plavers. Several of the men rolled in the dust in an_eflort to reach the bases and presented a ludicrous appearance.

NEew York, July 8.—"“What are the pros- pects of the coming campaign?’ was asked of Henry George. “The prospects of the next campaign are brilliant,” answered the editor and author. “The united labor party is to-day the live party of the country. Others are decaying— it is growing. The convention at Syracuse will begin the organization of a party that will sweap the whole country. The united Iabor party has the advantage of a clear prin- ciple and a definite idea. The land question, which is another name for the labor question. has got 50 far into the discussion that it will go forward now by its own momemtum, gathering like a snowball.” John McMackin, chairnan of the county general committee, says of his party: “The united labor party has as perfect a political organization as 1 have ever seen, There is nothing to pravent its succeeding 8o far as I can ses if the men are watchful of their dis- tricts, We have lost none of the enthuslasm of the last campaign, and will profit by ex- perience.” s Jake Sharp in Jail. NEW Yonrw, July 3.—Jacob Sharp sat this warm day in his cool, well ventilated room at Ludlow street jail, with his devoted wife beside his easy chair slowly waving a large fan before his face. Once in a while the fan became still, and Mrs. Sharp sank intoa meditative position, evidently at such times thinking of her approaching separation from her husband. They do not talk of the case, however, excepting when Mr. Stickney, Sharp’s counsel, is present. He enters the {ail prowmptly at 10 'clock éach day, and was BSharp’s only caller this morning, ~ There is no ehange {n Sharp’s condition, excepting, perhaps, that he is losing heart, notwith- standing the efforts of his wifs to keep his spirits up.

Interview With a Famous Gorman Explorer In the Dark Continent, WORTHY WORK FOR THE NEGRO, Herr Pfeil's Opinion of African Life =fResources of tho Country— Warlike Tribes—Benefits of Industry. An Interesting Talk. LCopyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennetts) Bernin, July W York Heral Cable—Special to the Brr.]—Joachim Graf Pteil, to whose energy Germany largely owes: its last African colonles, has recently re- tarned from Africa In consequence of un< pleasantness between himself and the cols onization society, 1 found Graf Pfeil to-day. at his rooms on Kurfursten street. Hels & tall, slim, dark, and rather young lookin, man. Like all successful African explorerd, he s fulll of energy, knowing his own mfnd, snd knowing it quickly, What struck me most in him was that he has worked out & clever original method of government, by which, if fully followed, it seems as thougl the German colony might be made quickly self supporting and the center of civilizatiol 8 — for the natives. He sald: -‘En‘ Africa is not naturally a rich countty,” It is a common error to sugpose but really Affica has no natural resouroés except natives at §5 per month for six hours work aday. This labor costs more than & similar quality of European labor wouldy nevertheless I am most certain of the suc cess of our colonies, At present the natives are lazy, Their work Is of a poor quality. Well, wo must train them to give them new wants in order to induce them to work. By my speech on the subject you can tell aboug how I think this could be done at present. Africa Is constantly at war. Everv month some tribe is attacked by some other. Many negroes are killed and many more enslaved. This makes an exhausting war tax con< stantly levied by the strong upon the weaks With German rule will come peaco in ouf territory. We should therefore have the righy to levy a tax to sustain this peace besidesy as we supplant tribal chiefs, we absorb thelr rights, Suppose each negro, in our terrie tory, In return for peace, security and lifg, is forced to pay a certain tax, either in- money or labor to the government. To earm. this money he must work. By his work the colony grows, but he also benefits as he grad-" ually becomes thrifty and less given to idle= ness. No, slavery would not do. 1t would merely be giving the the negro the object for | which to work while being trained to good' habits, but the one idea would be only slaves work, Itmustbe remembered that the ne-! groes are now more fit to take suddenly a fullé code of European laws than was northern’ Europe two hundred years ago, Such & tax{ would really be a tax upon 1dleness, for ne- groes working regularly upon plantations; would be exempt from rebelliongm There are always warlike tribes who wanld,l in consideration of exemption from this tax make some small pay, the same as police| collect a tax to stop trouble. On the eon<! trary the negroes would soon find that peadb, | with an opportunity to work, more th made up for the little work required of them.' With war slavery ended, and everyone forcedi to do some work, there would soon come am end to the slave-bred contempt for works These negroes are clever men with very little: training. They made excellent engineers fon our steam launches. They possest kreat adaptability to change with too) little reasoning power to object to thej changes made by others. They worked sa well around our statio ns that 1 know they can be trained to any agricultural work. The! wheat crops and cotton are as good there as/{ the finest Kgyptian without the slightesf trace of yellow. Coffee or any tropleal plv-, duet, Including excellent rubber, cun be; raised there, We need only labor. Furtun-|{ ately we can get this labor, and at the same| time civllize our natives. The climate i3 nog! so deadly as Is sald. We now rough it, yef survive with comforts. The regularity of life is no more dangerous than In Indls, | ‘There are even wide plateaux where German emigrants may safely work, Of course, that| will come slowly, as the country must firs be explored. Kirst will come big plantation: with negro labor.” 1 “Why do we want colonies?” | “Pecause we want to keep our surplm population within German sovereignty, Every German emigrant to America draws? 80 much of our wealth and life-blood, fom America’s benefit. Even our worst sociallsts in German colonies soon become strong con= servatives. Take the silver question alone., ‘Think how much our idle silver in Africg could absorp.” “Are colonies a danger In case of war?”’ “Notatall, What could England do but bombard a few native villages. 1fsho sent s big fleet there, we would be in London before the fleet got back to Africa. It Is not an ideal place for acolony, but it was the best we could do. In almost twenty years these Af- rican colonies will be self sustaining.” “Is there plenty of money to support this venture in the meanwhile.” “No, I think if the African colony is ever draggad into war they will bean aid, nota danger to the empire. Remember I do not advocate any form of siavery, but only a gradual clvilization or the negroes under conditlons as much as possible like those under which they lived so long. The sud- den change to European laws would merely demoralize. hopelessly, the whole race,” Mr. Pfeil lived so much in Africa that he tells me he must undergo acclimation when he returns to Europe. At present there is & prospect of his severing his connection with the African society. 1f so he will probably visit Awerica in the fal e Quarreling Corporations, AToHIS0N, July 8.—The row between the B. & M. raliroad and the Chicago and Atehid son bridge camqlny broke out afresh yester« y by the railroad company tearing u.r the culvert across Maln street to the great detri- ment of the approach to the bridge.
